Former Trump Rival ENDORSES President Trump!

A former Trump rival has formally endorsed the 45th President for the 2024 GOP nomination.

Former Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, who was a contender for the 2016 GOP nomination, has endorsed President Trump as the 2024 Republican frontrunner.

Jindal cited peace in the Middle East, Immigration, and a tough stance on China as reasons for his support. He also flat-out told his followers that President Trump is the 2024 GOP nominee—there is no ambiguity.

Breitbart had this to say about Jindal:

Jindal was one of a myriad of candidates in the 2016 field and suspended his campaign in November 2015 ahead of the Iowa Caucuses.

“I’ve come to the realization this is not my time,” he told Fox News, as the New York Times noted at the time.

Former Governor Jindal outlined his reasoning for the endorsement in this lengthy X social post:

President Trump brought order to the Mid-East by standing with our friends and refusing to coddle terrorists. President Trump was tough on Iran, first withdrawing from Obama’s foolish Iran deal, then reimposing sanctions.

Because of their hatred of President Trump, the Democrats are destroying our system of justice and doing everything they can to stop him. They have weaponized the government to go after him and others who disagree with their far-Left agenda.

Trump was the first president to correctly identify China as America's top security threat, and the first to insist we stop subsidizing our competitors through one-sided trade deals.

Trump is a proven leader and fighter, who appointed transformational judges when in office. We cannot afford to take a chance; we need somebody who’s proven to fight for us, and everyone must admit that Trump is a fighter like no one else.

Immigration without assimilation is an invasion. Every country has the right and responsibility to police its borders, and to decide who is allowed to enter.

Biden and the Democrats have destroyed that, and are pursuing an extreme and reckless environmental agenda that has destroyed thousands of good-paying American energy jobs.

Trump is uniquely willing to take on crony capitalism in healthcare and the broader economy. He will not allow too-big-to-fail healthcare companies to increase prices for patients, while hiding from real competition.

And we Republicans should stop helping them by fighting amongst ourselves, and instead, unite to win the general election. Some of the others running are friends who I have known for a while. They certainly have every right to run and decide when to stop.

Lastly, and this is the most important thing – WE ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING THIS COUNTRY.  The wolf is at the door, and this is true in terms of every issue, from economics, to culture, to foreign policy.

Trump may not be warm and cuddly, but he is a warrior, and that is what we need right now.
